Digital BW, The Print

Tim,
 I use Cumulus 5.5(the update has just been released from 5.0.1). It’s an
all-encompassing data management system for almost every digital
photographic, video and audio material you can think of at present. It is a
bit hard to master at first and as most of the image database programs do,
requires a fair amount of data input, especially if you plan to do searches
in a large database. The directories can be custom tailored as in the
Windows explorer tree and data (records) can be associated with the assets
(actual pictures, etc.) The newest version allows for better IPTC support
with such programs such as Photoshop 6.0. Also the newer version has a new
feature, which is a palette view mode, and if you’re on a network improved
support for Server data transfer and a slide show function. I have tried a
few other programs such as U lead Photoexplorer and this program seems to
satisfy my needs particularly when it comes to associated data such as film
type, aperture, lens info shutter speed as well as digital record data such
as white balance, metering mode etc., It also can accommodate copyright
inclusion. It is available on-line @ www.canto.com.
Hope this gives you some idea of this fine program
